Pay With Your Heart

"Looking like a tigress again huh?" In-Ha teased as Eun-sun closely approached him.

"What are you doing here?" Eun-sun asked ignoring his stupid question. She knotted her brow at him when he wouldn't stop smiling.

'Tch..Creepy thing'

"What do you mean what am I doing here? Fine I came fishing" He teased making Eun-sun roll her eyes at him.

"Be serious In-Ha, what are you doing here?" Eun-sun asked in a more serious tone.

"I was on my way to work so I thought about seeing you on my way there and–"

"Wait, you work?" Eun-sun asked in surprise, interrupting him.

"No I'm don't work, I'm an armed robber, didn't you know?" He asked sarcastically, as he rolled his eyes at her. What does she mean by, 'you work?' Why was she acting so surprised like it was awkward to hear he worked.

"It seems you're in the mood for jokes. As for me, I'm not. I have a job which I'm sort of running late for" 'And a big and grumpy baby to feed breakfast' She added in her mind.

"Okay fine I'm not trying to joke okay. I sort of missed you and you promised to call me back last night but you didn't. So I thought about dropping by to see you, I did good right?" He asked with expectant eyes, like a kid expecting a good pat for doing something right.

Eun-sun looked at him with stink eyes and sighed. 'Missed her indeed'

"I thought we already had an agreement. I'll cook and also give you a weekend compensation. So what else were we supposed to talk about?" Eun-sun asked him.

"Tsk, tigress you're always too hard on me. I might fall in love with you if you keep acting this way"

Eun-sun glared at him when he said that. Must he joke with everything? In-Ha shook his head amusedly when she glared at him. These were the things she does that was slowly getting his attention.

"Get in, I'll take you to work" He said as he opened the door for her. Eun-sun narrowed at him for some seconds before stepping into the car. She just have to get use to his regular jocular attitude. Her eyes followed him as he walked round the car. She fixed her hand on the little bandage wrapped around his wrist.

"How's your hand?" Shs asked the moment he hopped into the car. His hand on the ignition button paused as he turned to her, hint of disbelief lingering in his eyes.

"Are regretting your actions of bullying me?" He asked with a weird smile. Eun-sun maintained a stoic face for a while as she thought about his question. Was she regretful? Maybe she was minutes ago but seeing that smile on his face, she might as well reconsider.

"You look just fine" Eun-sun said dismissively, as she began to buckle in her seat belt. There was no need asking since he seemed to be in perfect shape. Atleast he could drive there to make jokes this morning. She hissed in her head when she remembered all his rant yesterday about not being able to do anything.

In-Ha couldn't help but chuckle out loud. "You know for a lady you've got quite an attitude, but that's the reason I like you" In-Ha sincerely said as he turned on the ignition. Eun-sun turned to look at him but she didn't say anything.

"Your feistiness really intrigues me"

"Then I think you've got a weird taste in women"

"No I don't. I like my women curvy, with heavy tits and bums. You know the model kind of girls, but you tigress are an exception"

Eun-sun could not believe those were his criterias for picking his women. '100% Casanova'

"Well I'm not surprised" Eun-sun hissed. She has always known he was the type to flirt and play around with women. Their first encounter was still registered in her brain.

In-Ha chuckled amusedly when she said those words and simply looked away afterwards. She was one hell of a girl.

He wasn't lying when he said she intrigued him. As a matter this was the first time in a very long time that he was actually being close to a woman like this. Talking and smiling at her happily. Not that he didn't do that with his other women but he did those just to excite them and get what he wanted from them. But with Eun-sun, it was different. 

He tend to miss her presence as well as talking to her. He missed the stern look that was constant in her eyes.

As a matter of fact he had missed her last night, and for a moment there when Dan-Han returned from work he thought he had her smell lingering on him. And that was when he had decided to pay her a visit.

"So when are you going to treat me out, tommorow or Sunday or maybe all through the weekend" In-Ha winked at her.

Eun-sun caught a glimpse of the smile on his face and she felt like smacking him. Was this guy going to make her broke or something?

"Hold on why are you always asking me to take you out on treats? Are you

trying to be a leech? You want to live off me?" She accused him, while eyeing him wickedly.

"What?! Live off you?"

"Yes. Live off me. The last time you made me buy you dinner, and know you want a treat for two days.. In-Ha aren't you being too petty?"

In-Ha scoffed in incredulity. "Me petty? Weren't you the one who had promised me a meal if you got a job, and I had to put all my good luck wishes on you? And who broke my arm with no provocation?" He cocked a brow at her.

"The first was a celebratory dinner, but this is a compensation. Compensation for hurting my hand" He turned and glanced at her briefly while waving his wounded hand at her so she could see the damage she has done.

Eun-sun had wanted to refute his words when her phone suddenly rang. She frowned when she noticed it was an unknown number. She wondered who could be calling her so early in the morning and with a strange number.

Eun-sun reluctantly picked the call.

"Hello" She spoke the moment she answered the call.

"Hello Ms Park" A male voice said over the phone.

"Who's this?"

"My name is Detective Tan from the central police force. I'm calling in respect of the missing persons case you filled for your father" Eun-sun felt her skid when she heard that.

"Did you find my him? Have you seen my father?" Eun-sun anxiously asked. Her heart was beginning to race frantically. She was sure there must have been some news about her father, else she wouldn't be receiving this call.

"We want you to come identify a body at the hospital. A body was found and your father's credit card was found on it. Can you please come to the City hospital for identification?" The man requested.

Eun-sun's, breath suddenly seized, and the hand holding her phone began to shake the moment she heard those words coming out of the phone. Her face had turned pale white.

"Ms Park" The detective called out softly when she went silent.

"I'll be...there" She replied stutteringly.

*********

"You don't mean what you're saying right?" Hei-Ran asked with disbelief, her eyes fixed on Jinhai like she had just heard him say the most ridiculous thing on earth. Why was there a contract?

Jinhai turned to her with a straight look on his face.

"I'm not joking Hei-Ran, what you have in your hand is real" He told her before returning his attention to the road.

Hei-Ran chuckled out with incredulity. It was official, this man was really mad! There was no other way to see it. Jinhai was quite startled when he heard her cackle like that, but he maintained a cool appearance.

"Believe me this is good" He told her.

"For who? Me?" She snapped.

"Yes" He replied firmly. He turned and looked at her face once again.

"You didn't expect me to just believe that you'd take this serious do you?" He raised a brow and briefly glanced at her. He sighed in his head when he saw the unbelievable look in her eyes.

"I know you can be a little rebellious and you can back off from our agreement, so I brought this as my insurance. Don't blame me, blame the shrewd business man in me" He told her.

"Mr Song I'm not some sort of business deal" She snapped.

"No you're not, but you're the one who harrased me. Look I'm quite serious with my relationships, and even tbough this is just something to...." His slurred when he couldn't even find the right term to use.

He hissed frustratedly, "You know what, just sign it. This will maintain both our interest" He told her.

Hei-Ran almost scoffed at loud. Who was he kidding? Any of this wasn't in her interest, just his. He was deriving pleasure from taunting her this way.

Hei-Ran looked back at the sheet of paper in her hands. She still couldn't believe that Jinhai would be jobless enough to draft such a stupid and ludicrous plan.

*During the time of the relationship, subject B isn't allowed to stare, gawk, gap, drool or smile at any person of the opposite sex.

*Subject B must not go on any romantic date with any man except subject A*

*Subject B must be nice and must agree to comply with any romantic gestures intiated by subject A*

*Subject B must refrain from any physical contact with any specie of the opposite sex*

Hei-Ran stopped herself from reading further. This was absolute nonsense.
